Spring defaults to my home.jsp rather than going to my login.jsp for authentication

Question

When I launch my webapp I want spring to redirect to my login.jsp in order to authenticate before it goes to my home.jsp but when the app starts it immediately goes to my home.jsp. I created this SecurityFilterChain which I had thought would default to my login.jsp for authentication.

@Configuration
public class SecurityConfiguration {

    @Bean
    public SecurityFilterChain filterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
                .authorizeRequests()
                .antMatchers("/login", "/register").permitAll()
                .and()
                .formLogin()
                    .loginPage("/login").permitAll();
        return http.build();
    }
}

If more information is needed please let me know.

I found what was wrong. I was using filterChain rather than the securityFilterChain. I also modified the method a little bit as shown here

@Bean
    public SecurityFilterChain securityFilterChain(HttpSecurity http) throws Exception {
        http
                .authorizeHttpRequests((requests) -> requests
                        .antMatchers("/login", "/register").permitAll()
                        .anyRequest().authenticated()
                )
                .formLogin((form) -> form
                        .loginPage("/login")
                        .loginProcessingUrl("/submit-login")
                        .permitAll()
                )
                .logout(LogoutConfigurer::permitAll);

        return http.build();
    }

Once making these changes the app defaulted to opening up my login.jsp for authentication before continuing on. Thank you all for the help.
